The Bonnaroo SuperJam has become one of the most unique and collaborative sets of music at any festival on the circuit today. Artists from different genres come together for one night only to produce something wonderful, memorable, and timeless. This weekend’s SuperJam theme was “The Soul Shakedown.” Presented by Preservation Hall Jazz Band, the SuperJam featured Jon Batiste (Stay Human, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert), members of The Head and the Heart, Sam Cohen, George Porter Jr. (The Meters), Lecrae, Margo Price, Tank and the Bangas, Lukas Nelson, Nicole Atkins, Flint Eastwood, and several unannounced sit-ins.
The SuperJam performance was a smash hit, playing through some serious favorites, like “Happy,” “Superfreak,” “Can I Kick It,” “Love And Happiness,” “Waterfalls,” and “24K Magic.” The decade-spanning soul shakedown closed with a surprise appearance from Chance The Rapper, who performed Dr. Dre‘s “Ain’t Nothing But A G Thang.” The rest of the artists came out to close the set with a rocking version of “Hey Ya” by Outkast.
